The first one is a Spirea...possibly 'Goldflame'. Loves the sun and should produce pink flowers as well as the lovely foliage. I cut mine back by half in March
The second one needs a better picture....does it smell if the leaves are rubbed...it looked a bit herb-like, maybe Tarragon. Might possibly be a sub-shrub called Zauschnaria

Agree about the first one, dug one up the other week in the garden as it had got huge and wasn't to my taste anymore. No idea re the second one as the photo isn't very clear.

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
The 2nd one looks like lavender but it's just a stab in the dark.

Thx for the feedback. Gold flame rings a bell second one is not a herb I think a shrub. Produces pink/ purple flower mid to late summer and is double the size it was 2 years ago. Thanks again folks and keep the guessing coming. Will take a better pic later as I have now cracked open the cider. Lol.
If you had said the second one flowered in spring to mid summer it could have been a perennial wallflower or Erisymium. My other suggestion was lavender.
Here is my best description Thick hedge like with woody stalks spreads along the ground as appose to height. Pink/ purple flowers mid to late summer dies right back to said woody stalks in winter. This is fun.
Not erisymum checked on Google. It's to tall and the leaves are to long. I had another variety that was lighter foliage with bright pink flowers. I do remember the stems not being as tightly packed when first purchased but I assume this is because of lack of pruning. I have always just snapped off the papery flower heads after blossom.
